Volunteers are asked to dress professionally (including white coat) when attending this event.

Sign up today to make a meaningful impact on someone who may be reaching out for help. Questions can be directed to Sneha Shah, Foundation Associate Liaison (foundationliaison@somafoundation.org).

Heart On Your Sleeve

Help fight the stigma against medical students, residents, and attendings asking for help concerning mental health and the stress of our profession. Take a moment to read our invitation to "wear your heart on your sleeve" and stop by the SOMA Foundation table at the AOA House of Delegates to get your badge. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Help us support our colleagues and show they are not alone.

Join us in supporting the osteopathic medical student community during our 2017 Chicago Foundation Night Out on July 20, 2017.
